Page Layout ⇒ beamer: custom page number

[jayantvivek]

hello

is there any way i can change page numbering in the boadilla theme of beamer so that it shows only the current page number and not `page X / total number of pages'. That is for slide 18 out of 34 it should say just '18' and not '18/34'.

thanks a lot

Hi jayantvivek,

welcome to the board!
This modified infoline theme would help:

Code: Select all

\defbeamertemplate*{footline}{my theme}
{
  \leavevmode%
  \hbox{%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{author in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\insertshortauthor~~(\insertshortinstitute)
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,center]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.333333\paperwidth,ht=2.25ex,dp=1ex,right]{date in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{date in head/foot}\insertshortdate{}\hspace*{2em}
    \insertframenumber{}\hspace*{2ex} 
  \end{beamercolorbox}}%
  \vskip0pt%
}
